Germany Awards Grant for Encryption
By PETER WAYNER

     A branch of the German government on Thursday announced plans to
     give a grant of 318,000 marks (about $170,000) to a grass-roots
     effort to help create new data-scrambling software....

     The grant from the German Federal Ministry of Finance and
     Technology will go to the German Unix Users Group (GUUG) to help
     them enhance a program known as GNU Privacy Guard.

Wow!
